Playing vintage acoustic and VE/Viva-Tonal 78s on a Victrola

Post by VictrolaMarcs78s »

I have a very large collection of vintage classical,band,popular acoustic and early VE Orthophonic and Viva-Tonal/Light Ray 78s.
I often like to play them on my Victrola VIII Table model.
Recently,I've had a few requests to play and transfer other private collectors' 78s from my Victrola to CDs,using either steel Victrola needles,fiber,tungstone and bamboo Victrola needles.
I have at least 200-300 vintage steel needles,one or two very old Tungstone needles.
But,while I have about 6-10 fiber needles,they date from post-WW 11.
Does anyone know a source where I can buy more fiber,Tungstone and bamboo needles for my Victrola?
For further info,(I sell my own CD transfers of 78s played on a Victrola) please contact me

Thank you.
